Proprietary software is one of the last anchors holding people to Windows or macOS.

Ideally, people would switch to FOSS alternatives on a FOSS OS, but proprietary software on top of a FOSS OS is better than FOSS software on a proprietary OS.

Also, people are going to charge for software in some form or fashion. The economic model would need to change in order to allow people to develop software without any economic motives.

I was thinking the Prince estate, but yeah GnR too.

Those Vietnamese Internet sharks are getting to be a real problem. 😆

No. Most don’t leave the US, so there isn’t a need. Plus, until recently, Canada and Mexico only needed an ID card like a drivers license.

Money mostly.

There is usually something like needing $250K in the bank to be considered for permanent residency. Then the paperwork costs money, so most Americans will have to wait until they get refugee status.

Do they use the binary blobs? I figured MS, Vivaldi, the random Chromium in the distro repos stripped those out or replaced them with their own secret bins before compilation.

Printing bumper stickers of this now.

It hides user information from companies which aren’t Google. The best is not using anything Chromium based.

Extensions require APIs from the browser to work, and Google is going to nerf the APIs which allow for ad blocking. Extensions don’t have unfettered access to the DOM. FF used to be like that, but Chrome never allowed that.

Yeah, I would probably have a Shield Pro if the price was lower. It does seem to have to best support though.

It might be supported by LineageOS, so that could be an option. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

This is the front runner, but I’m not sure which device is the best though. Nvidia Shield seems to be the most logical answer.

How is transcoding handled? Does the Intel iGPU have the drivers/support to do transcoding on the fly?

Anyway… In this instance, I’m mainly looking for a client reccs. I have a crappy Roku streaming stick that needs to get replaced, and I’m wondering which client device is the best. An Android device or AppleTV seem to be best choices, since I could get commercial services with hardware acceleration on them if I wanted to.

How much malware is on that thing?

The firmware needs to be replaceable, so it doesn’t turn into a liability.

What are the best hardware and OS combos for a media setup?

Nvidia Shield + Lineage OS? Chromesomething? Roku? AppleTV? X86 + Linux? (I’m not afraid of Linux, but remember some posts about video acceleration not working and services being web only.)

OP needs to allow the accounts to log into the host on the FreeIPA server.

I have a FreeIPA + Fedora setup and forgot to add the host to my host group which controls host access for standard accounts, and I got the same message.

That doesn’t change the fix.

The accounts need to be allowed to login to the host in FreeIPA.

Yep. The accounts don’t have permissions to log into the machine.

OP needs to fix the perms in FreeIPA. There are several ways todo this, and I’m not around a FreeIPA server at the moment.

Which ones? I’m curious since I don’t follow the scene and only know of mainstream stuff.

Awesome, now upstream everything so I can install Debian on the hardware instead of OpenWRT.
